 @defvar dbus-event-error-hooks
 This hook variable keeps a list of functions, which are called when a
 D-Bus error happens in the event handler.  Every function must accept
-one argument, the error variable catched in @code{condition-case} by
-@code{dbus-error}.  Example:
+two arguments, the event and the error variable catched in
+@code{condition-case} by @code{dbus-error}.
+
+Such functions can be used the adapt the error signal to be raised.
+Example:
 
 @lisp
-(defun my-dbus-event-error-handler (err)
-  (message "my-dbus-event-error-handler: %S" (cadr err)))
+(defun my-dbus-event-error-handler (event error)

+    (message "my-dbus-event-error-handler: %S %S" event error)
+    (signal 'file-error (cdr error))))
 
 (add-hook 'dbus-event-error-hooks 'my-dbus-event-error-handler)
 @end lisp
 @end defvar
 
+Hook functions shall take into account, that there might be other
+D-Bus applications running.  Therefore, they shall check carefully,
+whether a given D-Bus error is related to them.
